Interesting collection. I have subscribed and will listen to some of your reviews. Could do with a list though in the description.

[@thegreenman4925]

Thanks. I'll rectify that.

[@alexperry4691]

Some really great picks here, so good to see someone rank Iotunn so high, it is indeed a phenomenal piece of music!

[@thegreenman4925]

Yep, have loved it all year round. Released back in February so felt it deserved the no. 1 place even above BTBAM!

Hey there ! Stumbled on your channel, and saw that you reviewed and liked my Nephews record, and ranked " The Work" at #8 !! Thank you, for the mention. Jared Klein is their Drummer, he lives in Reno, Nevada. as do I.. he commutes to Reading, Pa. to record and set off on tour with Brody, and the boys ! Of course I subbed you, and I review their records When I can. His older brother Toby is the writer and drummer for Psychosomatic.. a Thrash Metal band out of Sacramento. Ca. Really excellent, Im sure you will like them..Cheers. JT. from Jt's Record Room..

Yep, kind of expected to see it on more lists too !

[@andreylucass]

You deserve more subscribers.

[@thegreenman4925]

[@thegreenman4925]

Great list, lots of good picks. I remember liking a previous Duskmourn album but missed that one

[@ignacioramos1320]

You should put the name of the band and the album on screen. You did it for the honorable mentions but not for the main list

[@thegreenman4925]

Thanks - something for me to keep in mind for future. The software I'm using isn't always the best so I should upgrade at some point (essentially, the more you put in of images and text the more it struggles !)

[@Gabriel-sx8xi]

My AOTY is *Disavowed and Left Hopeless* by Our Worship Place Is Silence

[@ryanm.7147]

Iotunn is also my aoty

[@Hellenicheavymetal]

Iotunn, Unto Others and Swallow the Sun are in my top 10. Another solid release is 1914s Where Fear and Weapons Meet. Check it out as Im sure you will enjoy.

[@thegreenman4925]

That's an album I definitely mean to listen to, along with the Stormkeep album which I feel I should not have missed !

[@Hellenicheavymetal]

@@thegreenman4925 Yes! That one as well!

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Your number #1 is very interesting.. what is the spelling? I will check the comments to find out.. Cheers and Happy New Year !

[@thegreenman4925]

It's Iotunn and 'Access All Worlds'. Happy New Year also when it comes!

Wow thanks for that list - I definitely need to check some of these out 👍

[@StarsDie88]

Loved that Ravager album.

[@colonelbasic9736]

Hell Unleashed is a great album, nobody seems to mention it or the band for that matter.

[@thegreenman4925]

@@colonelbasic9736 I love Evile! Saw them several years ago at The Underworld in London - they were awesome. Hell Unleashed just didn't vibe with me as much as their previous albums. I kind of missed Matt in all honesty.

[@loringbush1455]

ACDC Pwr Up! Is the best album they ever made!

[@abbysimmons3258]

..........there's entirely too much low-testosterone Eunuch Metal on your list. Sorry but I'm clicking my way back to Necrotic Nick, Jammin' Jon and Ken's Death Metal Crypt.

[@thegreenman4925]

Thanks, that sounds like a new genre I need to check out
